- Mix in brown sugar and granulated sugar until well combined, then add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition until fluffy and light in color.
- Gradually stir in all-purpose flour and salt until just combined. Add vanilla bean paste, mixing gently.
- Pour the batter into the greased pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Baking
- Bake in the preheated oven for 28-32 minutes, checking for doneness with a toothpick.
Cooling and Icing
- Let the brownies cool in the pan for about an hour.
- For the icing, melt 2 tablespoons of butter, then mix in powdered sugar, a pinch of salt, vanilla bean paste, and enough milk for your desired consistency.
- Spread the icing over the cooled brownies, cut into squares, and serve.
Notes
For best results, use high-quality white chocolate chips and ensure eggs are at room temperature before mixing. Store in an airtight container for 3-5 days or freeze for up to three months.
